This show is an absolute scream. Ash has been doing his best to live his life for the past 30 years demon free. One night, Ash makes the poor and inebriated decision to read from The Book of The Dead, starting another evil invasion on the living world. With the (somewhat willing) help of his co-workers Pablo and Kelly, Ash is back in action with his chainsaw hand and boomstick to right what he as wronged.

Two episodes in, AvED hits all the marks of the movie series. Bruce Campbell brings our favorite reluctant hero, Ash back to us in fine form (if a bit aged) along with the gory mayhem that the Deadites bring. Wild direction and action, it’s absurd, funny, violent and heartfelt all at once. Things are still taking shape with  agent Amanda Fisher and Ruby being more or less in the background, they haven’t met Ash yet (Amanda is getting close to catching up with him), so I’m curious to see how they fit into this. I need more Lucy Lawless in my life, so I hope Ruby gets a lot of screen time next week.

10 episodes this season with another one already greenlit, us fans are set up to dine on a considerable amount of Evil Dead now!
